    摘要: The invention is based on the discovery that rho kinase inhibitors can be used to treat proteinopathy associated wandering. A number of degenerative neurological diseases are thought to be caused, at least in part, by the formation of protein aggregates that cause neurotoxicity and progressive decline in function. The inventive methods related to the use of rho kinase inhibitors in the treatment of patients with proteinopathy-associated wandering. The patients may be suffering from Huntington's disease, a traumatic brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome or a proteinopathy-associated dementia, such as Alzheimer disease or frontotemporal dementia.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the treatment patient with a 4-repeat (4R) tauopathy using a therapeutically effect amount of a rho kinase inhibitor. One preferred inhibitor is fasudil and preferred methods involve the daily oral administration of between 20 and 250 mg of fasudil. Preferred 4R tauopathies treatable according to the invention include progressive supranuclear palsy with Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS) and corticobasal syndrome with probable sporadic corticobasal degeneration.

    摘要: The invention is based on the discovery that rho kinase inhibitors can be used to treat certain dementia-associated wandering. The inventive methods relate to the use of rho kinase inhibitors in the treatment of patients with cortical dementia-associated wandering. Preferred aspects of the invention contemplate treating wandering due to cortical vascular dementia and wandering due to dementia where the patient is a persistent wanderer and/or where the patient does not display a wayfinding defect.
